Description of Work/Assignment: For my senior project it is required to give an elevator pitch and essentially pitch your project to the class, and teacher to receive feedback. It allows me and other students to run through our ideas and receive not only feedback, nut ideas or contacts to go through for our projects.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?: The 21st century skill I believe fits with this assignment is communication skills. During this assignment I communicated my project to my peers and received communication back. I was able to communicate to others about their projects as well with feedback or ideas as well. This assignment definitely relied on my communication skills. What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?: I am most proud of creating a solid plan of a rough idea I had for my project and continuing on with most of my original plan. This project determines whether I graduate or not, so being able to pitch my idea and continue to follow through with it should be good.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment?: I improved/developed my communication skills by presenting my pitch and asking for feedback. Receiving feedback then will be taken into consideration and then incorporated into the next steps of my senior project.
What was most difficult about completing this task?: What was most difficult about completing this task was making sure I hit every topic that needed to be talked about. There are many components that were to be touched upon and making sure I hit every topic was difficult.
How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do differently?: if I could start over, what I would do differently would be to look over what was outlined and needed for the presentation. I looked over the senior seminar elevator pitch packet, but some of it was outlined a little differently.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?: This pitch relates to what I have done in the past with project presentations. I have done many project presentations which prepared me for this elevator pitch, although, the pitch was more heavily information filled due to it being for my senior project.
